I use 'environment' tags to refer to what's in each controlled
environment. I keep these tags in /env instead of /tags so as to keep
them separated from the developers' tagging 'space'.
To 'move' the 'tag', all you have to do is:
1) svn rm http://server/repos/env/prod
2) svn cp http://server/repos/trunk http://server/repos/env/prod
To prevent timing issues of something like CruiseControl polling for
changes while you're inbetween these 2 steps, I have shell scripts to
run common promotions.
